Get Your Hands on a Titanium Wedding Band
While tradition may dictate that both partners wear a gold or platinum ring, there is a growing case for other types of wedding band. For example, a lot of new designs styles of titanium wedding band look very similar to traditional wedding bands, without the hefty price tag.
Titanium is a great material to make a wedding band from as it can be buffed up to a shine like gold or you can get it in a matt finish if that is your preference. Titanium is around a third lighter than gold, but is a very strong material that will certainly stand the test of time for the length of your relationship.
When you are looking to buy a titanium wedding band there are certain things that you should look out for.
Firstly there is the weight of the ring. All metal wedding bands come in different weights, and depending on the type of metal that you go for this could be expressed in carats, or actual weights. Often with more modern rings, people can choose between a light, medium or heavy composition.
Next you need to think about the shape of the band that you want to get. While you may think that getting a wedding band just means getting something plain, you can actually get flat, D-shaped or court shaped rings. Court shaped are curved on the inside for a comfortable fit, and round on the outside. Which you go for is as much a matter of personal taste is it is a question of style.
Width of the band is the next thing to think about. When you get a band you will be able to choose from a number of different widths depending again on your personal preference. Some people, especially ladies will prefer a narrower ring, of perhaps 3mm, while men tend to like larger rings such as 5, 6 or even 7mm. Again what you go for is down to a matter of your own style, as there isn’t too much to think about in the way of the latest trends when buying these, as you will be wearing them for the rest of your life.
